WHAT: iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 global podcast publisher according to Podtrac, and KT Studios, a scripted and podcast production company and leader in true-crime storytelling, today announced their latest groundbreaking podcast, "Incels.” This in-depth series will venture into the troubling world of “involuntary celibates”—predominantly young, heterosexual men prone to anger, isolation, and resentment—exploring how frustration morphs into cruelty, harassment, and even violence. The first episode will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard on Wednesday, September 24.

“Incels” will transport listeners into dark online forums, unveiling the tragic human cost of a subculture rooted in hate. With exclusive first-hand stories, empathetic expert commentary, and reflections from former and current incels, this series will not aim to sensationalize—but to understand. Episodes will dissect how these digital communities form, why they're proliferating, and the emotional cycles that ensnare men, offering not just insight, but hope for those seeking an exit.

WHO: KT Studios’ Stephanie Lydecker serves as executive producer, alongside producers Courtney Armstrong and Gabriel Castillo. Tyler Klang serves as executive producer for iHeartPodcasts. Additional producing by Carolyn Miller and Conor Powell.

WHEN + WHERE: New episodes of “Incels” will be available every Wednesday on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.
